Todd arrives at a cafe for a blind date with Kelly, whom he expects to be a girl. When Kelly turns out to be a gay man, Todd discovers that he has been the victim of a prank by his brother Barry. Todd and Kelly decide to get revenge on Barry by pretending they are indeed now a couple. The joke soon goes further than they expected when Todd's family and friends all soon believe him to be gay.
